Sweatin to the oldies


So last Friday my boss asked me what I was doing over the weekend. I just responded "partying" to which he responded, " you are too old". As I sat there in stunned silence, I thought to myself.... I am already having a hard time with the whole out of my 20s thing, and he has the nerve to say that to me?
First of all, I didn't know that there was an age limit on partying, after all Steven Tyler is still partying hard, and he freaking rocks.
Second of all, my definition of partying is not even close to Steven Tyler. No drinking, no, smoking, no druggin.
Third of all Mr. Supervisor. Screw you! You don't even know me. He almost forced me to do all of the above mentioned just out of spite.
It bothered me a good 24 hours before I came to my senses and realized that I thought he was a good 10 years older than my supervisor in Pocatello. Turns out he is 6 years younger, but because he acts like an old man.....therefore he is.
Am I right? I truly believe you are only as old as you feel. I feel about 24, but I have been telling people I am 27, just to be on the safe side.
I just might be 27 for a couple more years.
Also because this is a health blog, I am proud to report that I have been to the gym two days this week. Woohoo! and I like it. Shhhhhh!

St. Luke's women's Fitness Celebration


How pathetic is it that I worked out for 10 minutes on Saturday and almost died? Pretty pathetic. I went in to my new gym for a fitness assessment, I had no idea I was going to be working out, but I wore my clothes anyway.
I plan on using the gym in the morning before work, but I didn't get any sleep last night so I didn't got this morning. Instead I packed my cloths for tonight after work.
I know slow and steady wins the race, and after that embarrassing display on Saturday, I need to get my ass in gear. 10 minutes. Sad.
Anyway I will keep you posted about that.
On to happier things. BFFH and I are doing this! Well I think she is, she never really got back to me about it, but its a 5k at the end of September. You all are welcome to come stay at my place and have fun with us.
My friend that lives here does it every year and she says its a blast. And since I have a 5k present from BFFH, I thought what better time to use it.
Anyway check it out and see if you are interested. Like I said, everybody is welcome to stay at my place. I have roommates, so maybe babies are not a good idea, but hey everybody needs a girls weekend every once in a while.
Watch this video. I think its cool!

I have nothing to blog about


But I am making an effort to blog more. So today we are talking about brown baggin it. I am not going to lie, I have been going out for lunch for the last 4iner so weeks and eating crap. Guess it should have been no surprise when I stepped on the scale and saw 5 pounds more. Hooray! But then I cut myself some slack. I am out of my element over here, and I was unsure of stuff. I have a mini fridge that I used in my other office, but there is a giant fridge here so I figured I would use that. I think I am going to bring it though. Also I have to share an office. I don't like to share. But I guess in January we are moving offices and I will have my own again.
But anyway back to the subject. I started packing lunch again. It healthy and cheap. No more french fries from the McDonald for me. Isn't food fun!

Hello!

So I am still not set on a design for this blog as you can see, but I will get there eventually. But I am going to start posting here a lot more because...... I joined a gym! My roommate gave me the hook up. I am so excited. Its called Total Woman Fitness, as you can see from the picture below. Yes I am blogging at work. It is seriously the most awesome gym ever! AND as an added bonus NO BOYS ALLOWED. Its a full gym with class like Zumba, Yoga, Spinning, they even have a sauna(lol).
What I especially like about this gym is the free weights. I know a lot of ladies think you can get huge on weights, but that is a myth.... those freaky ladies that you see on ESPN are not normal. They do other things too. Anyway I am in a new city, what was the point of me moving if I am just going to be doing the same old things. Plus Meridian is a supper active city. Everybody rides bikes. I might have to invest. We will see. Also I hear a Whole Foods! I hope that is not a rumor, I love whole foods.
Anyway I hope to get this blog up and running everyday.
I start at the gym on Monday after a consolation.
I also started packing lunch to work again. That was about 8 weeks of unhealthy for me. Trust me I felt it.
That is a snack. Its Greek yogurt with some kiwi and some granola. Yum. I am on this whole Greek yogurt thing lately. Its real good for you.

BFFH




So how awesome is BFFH! She did a triathlon. What the heck. She rocks so hard. But the good thing is, she unknowingly gave me some motivation to get my tush back in gear again. Now that I am all settled in, its time to work work work on my fitness. Since I don't start work until 10:30 most days, I have the mornings to workout. Which is what I prefer anyway. When I get home from work, I am done. I am not going to go crazy and sign up for a triathlon, but hey in the future, you just never know.

Meridian

So I am here! In Meridian. I am going to do some layout changes now that I am actually not living in Boise. Silly life. Anyway I am really excited to be here, I still don't have a personal computer, so I am going to be updating at work only. I am still trying to get a feel for the people I work with. It makes for an interesting day that is for sure.
But I decided that since I wanted a change so much in my life, I am not going to just move to a new city and sit on my ass. I am going to make this life happen for me. If I don't I might as well be back in my old life feeling sorry for myself.
So first things first. A few weeks ago, I was sick sick sick. I was diagnosed with severe anemia. They thought I was going to have to get blood transfusions. I have never in my life felt so ill. After doing some research, I discovered that my diet had a lot to do with my illness. Not being vegetarian people! But neglecting the basic rule of veg. B12. I have it, I just forgot to take it. I consulted a dietitian and she told me that more and more people are becoming vegetarian. Its a healthy lifestyle. Just make sure I am getting all my vitamins, sleep, water, and exercise.
Also Meridianites? Seem to be all about the health. Everybody has bikes. Not that I am going to be jumping on that bandwagon, but they do have some nice trails and sidewalks for me to take walks on.
Also I guess the winters are mild, so that is a plus. I hate snow!
All in all a new city, and a new Katie, how fun!
